Continuity mistake: In the earlier scenes on the planet's surface when the men still have their helmets on, it appears that the cameramen were also wearing space suits so that they would appear as crewmen on the visor reflections. Still too many people visible though.

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Antony Hoffman
Starring: Val Kilmer, Terence Stamp, Tom Sizemore, Benjamin Bratt, Carrie-Anne Moss, Simon Baker
The space crew dudes can breathe on Mars because of these insects that eat algae and exhale oxygen. Gallagher (Val Kilmer) outsmarts the robot AIMEE, sets it on fire and takes its battery in order to power up the old Russian ship that he uses to leave Mars. Bowman (Carrie Anne Moss) rescues Gallagher as he's entering the Mars orbit and they study the Mars insects that Burchenal (Tom Sizemore) stored in a tube before dying.
